"This ain't your usual kinda story. It's a story about us. Me and Kali...and...and it starts here. This moment. With you and me and them and her and him and they and us. Right on the brink of a humongous event of earth shattering proportion."

Kali and Leah have grown up together, they know one another inside and out...or so they thought. As the solar eclipse approaches, so too does their urgency to explore who they are and how to make the pieces fit.
